Abstract

Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) is a key precursor in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a polymer of considerable industrial significance. A major synthetic route to VCM involves the reaction of ethylene dichloride (EDC), producing VCM and hydrogen chloride as the principal products. This study aims to enhance the purity of VCM by implementing process improvements through the integration of distillation columns and recycling systems. The optimized configuration achieved an outstanding VCM purity of 99.97%, while simultaneously increasing energy efficiency and minimizing the formation of undesirable by-products. These results underscore the critical importance of advanced reactor design and purification technologies in elevating VCM quality, thereby contributing to more sustainable PVC production within the chemical industry.
